Re: NRA Newtown response
That is true. The guns were purchased at a gun show from a dealer that kept no records and did not remember the transaction.... so, yes, there was a surrogate... so, I will wander into some area of speculation (as I generally like to deal in facts that I can support), but I find it pretty hard to believe that a surrogate performs in a place where they are part of the audit trail. In the Columbine case, there was not audit trail... again, to some extent, because the transient nature of a gun show is less formal than that of a fixed store where cash registers must tie and ledgers have to agree to the cash register.
I believe they got their main weapon from the illegal practice known as a straw purchase from another individual which is not stopped by a background check
